Product Description

The Skyjacker C280AKSD-B is a full Softride suspension lift kit engineered for 1969 through 1972 Chevrolet and GMC Suburban 4WD models (base trim only, gas engine). It delivers an aggressive 8" front and approximately 7-7.5" rear lift using heavy-duty leaf springs, lift blocks, and monotube Black MAX shocks to elevate ride height, clearance, and handling without sacrificing comfort.

This kit includes everything necessary: front and rear leaf springs, rear lift blocks, U-bolts, factory-style bushings, Black MAX shocks, and brake-line relocation brackets. Designed specifically for use with 56" rear springs, the system supports tires up to 40"x12.5" and includes corrosion-resistant powder-coated components backed by Skyjacker's limited lifetime warranty.

Installation is bolt-on but requires confirming fitment with base-trim Suburbans and standard-length rear springs. Shock absorbers are pre-tuned for the lifted height, and brake-line brackets ensure driveline geometry remains safe during travel. Ideal for vintage Suburban builds seeking bold stance, improved ride posture, and added off-road capability.
